I'll take Tabia who beat Messier in the SA derby. But with 22 horse field it's anybodies guess as who will win. A good horse can get boxed in and expend too much energy to break out of the pack
Taiba is scary talented horse. If the colt breaks clean and Mike Smith negotiates a clean trip, Taiba could very easily win this race. It would be great, oldest jockey to win the Derby on a colt making his third start!
